Marvin's Building Materials and Home Centers today announced plans to open a new store in Lewisburg, Tennessee. The store is currently under construction in the Parkway Shoppes Plaza on Highway 431. The store will feature a 30,000 square foot home center in addition to an attached lawn and garden center and drive through lumberyard. “We have been looking for a site in the Lewisburg and Marshall County area for years, just as we did in Fayetteville. We were very fortunate to locate in one of the most convenient intersections for shoppers in the area.” said Darrin Gilliam, CEO. The Lewisburg location will be the second Marvin’s store in Tennessee after opening in Fayetteville in 2012. “With consumers placing a priority on value and convenience, Marvin’s is focused on offering friendly service, low prices, and a best-in-class shopping experience,” said Michael Cohn, owner of Marvin’s.

“Every opportunity that we have to bring this concept to a new market is a testament to our current associates and their commitment to provide exceptional service to our customers,” continued Cohn. The store in Lewisburg is expected to open in June of 2013.

Marvin’s was founded in 1945 by Marvin Cohn in Gadsden, Alabama and was expanded into a multi-chain home center by his son, Alfred. It is currently operated by third generation owners, Michael and Daniel Cohn. Marvin's has 27 stores in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
